I am attempting to create a simple beat but am running into an issue when trying to install Libbeat. I typed the following command:

$ go get "[github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat](http://github.com/elastic/beats/libbeat)"

and received the following errors:

```

along with others that I removed to shorten the topic.

Should I not be using the go get command to install Libbeat? I'm sure there is an easy solution that I'm unaware of. Any help is greatly appreciated!

The easiest way to create a new beat, is using our beat generator: [https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/generate/beat](https://github.com/elastic/beats/tree/master/generate/beat)

Besides that I'm somehow surprised by the above errors but I never tried the above myself. Which version of Golang are you using?

what's `go version` saying? Beats project uses go 1.6 .

I think I recognize the log.LUTC complaint, in which case the problem is an old Go compiler (as previously noted 1.6 is required).

That was the problem. Thanks for the help!
